To calculate how much money Rita raised, we'll use the prices from the table:

  • Candy Bar: $2.00
  • Peanut Pack: $3.00
  • Popcorn Ball: $1.00

Now let's calculate the amount of money Rita raised from her sales:

  1. Candy Bars:

    • Rita sells 8 candy bars.
    • Amount raised from candy bars: 8 candy bars × $2.00/candy bar = $16.00
  2. Peanut Packs:

    • Rita sells 0 peanut packs.
    • Amount raised from peanut packs: 0 peanut packs × $3.00/peanut pack = $0.00
  3. Popcorn Balls:

    • Rita sells 1 popcorn ball.
    • Amount raised from popcorn balls: 1 popcorn ball × $1.00/popcorn ball = $1.00

Now let's sum up all the amounts to find the total money raised by Rita:

  • Total amount raised by Rita = Amount from candy bars + Amount from peanut packs + Amount from popcorn balls
  • Total amount raised by Rita = $16.00 + $0.00 + $1.00 = $17.00

So, Rita raised $17.00.

If you have data for other players and want to find the total money raised by the entire team, please provide their information, and I can help with those calculations as well!
